With a foreword by Elizabeth Martinez, Roots of Justice
recaptures some of the nearly forgotten histories of communities of
color. These are the stories of people who fought back against
exploitation and injustice--and won. From the Zoot Suiters who
refused to put up with abuse at the hands of the Navy, to the women
who organized the welfare rights movement of the 1970s, Roots of
Justice shows how, through organizing, ordinary people have
made extraordinary contributions to change society.
